Water Heaters

Conventional Tank Water Heaters

Most water heaters are tank water heaters, which keep a tank full of hot water in your home or business at all times. Most models hold between 20 and 100 gallons of water. When hot water is required the water is circulated to the open faucet. Conventional tanks utilize electric, natural gas, propane or solar power as an energy source to heat water.

Electric Water Heaters

The electric water heater is a 220- circuit. To heat the water the current typically passed through two electrical resistance heating elements. One element in the middle tank and one at the bottom. Power is delivered to each element through a thermostat.

Gas Water Heaters

A gas fired water heater typically uses natural or propane gas. Instead of electrical resistance elements, a gas water heater has a burner that is fed through a control valve and a thermostat switch. Gas fired heaters heat the tank, which in turn heats the water; there will be more wear and tear on the tank then with electric water heater.
